A mellow compliment to Gallagher’s raucous first single “Wall of Glass,” the atmospheric “Chinatown” finds the vocalist in “Wonderwall” mode as he sings gentle acoustic guitars and a simple backbeat.

“Well the cops have taken over / When everyone’s at yoga / ‘Cause happiness is a warm gun,” Gallagher sings, referencing the Beatles’ “White Album” classic.

Gallagher said of his upcoming LP in a statement, “I didn’t want to be reinventing anything or going off on a space jazz odyssey. It’s the Lennon ‘Cold Turkey’ vibe, The Stones, the classics. But done my way, now.”

Gallagher recorded four As You Were songs – “Wall of Glass,” “Paper Crown,” “Come Back To Me” and bonus track “Doesn’t Have to Be That Way” – in Los Angeles with Adele producer Greg Kurstin. The remainder of the LP was recorded at London’s Snap! Studios under the guidance of producer Dan Grech-Marguerat.

In addition to “Chinatown,” Gallagher also unveiled the 12-song track list (plus three bonus cuts) for As You Were, which arrives October 6th. Fans who pre-order the album will receive instant downloads of “Wall of Glass” and “Chinatown.”
